FILMINHOS À SOLTA (SMALL FILMS AT LARGE)

Auditório Carlos Paredes

9.30 pm | 11.30 am

Every year, many very good (or important) films appear on the national and international circuit, but are too small to justify a commercial release. As a result, they are ignored by mainstream distributors. Zero em Comportamento makes watching these films easy, through its project O FILME DO MÊS (FILM OF THE MONTH) which screens a film every month in various locations.

Organization: Zero em Comportamento / Benfica Parish Council

CONCERT FOR BABIES

Palácio Baldaya

3.30 pm

Babies begin to hear while still in their mothers' tummies and, according to specialists, musical expression helps them develop their intellect and stimulates speech and hearing. Benfica Parish Council is joining forces with the New Music School for a concert where sounds, rhythms and a range of timbres set the tone for an afternoon where music and babies reign supreme.
